May 2, 2021: Fifth Sunday of Easter

Today I party like it's 1999, when I received my First Holy Communion.  In a class during the preparations, we discussed the passage from John 15 that is the Gospel proclaimed today.

By His Resurrection, Jesus Christ has become our Source of Life continuous, abundant, and ever-new.

We continue to experience His Life by remaining with Him Who always remains with those He has saved and named His people.

In the power of His Spirit, we go forth to boldly proclaim Who He is, just as Saul had a total reversal from denying Jesus to preaching about Him.

Indeed, we go forth to bear fruit as we remain in Him, and He empowers us to obey His commands, and live in the way He desires, so that we seek His desires in what we ask for, as we keep constantly in touch with the Life-giving Spirit.  By remaining in Him, He remains in us so we can love the in the way that makes Him powerfully present in this world.
